It's settled.
For a businessman like Murong Zhenfei who specializes in top-quality ingredients, one thousand yuan per person is definitely the minimum standard.
Because the top-quality ingredients are very expensive. For example, a single plate of top-quality ingredients such as sea cucumber, tiger ear mushroom, and matsutake mushroom will cost more than one thousand yuan.
But this was not a business banquet for Xiang Yang, it was just a class reunion.
Taking Xiang Yang's age into consideration, Murong Zhenfei could roughly know what kind of people Xiang Yang's classmates were.
Those truly top-notch but less famous ingredients, such as barnacles, are definitely not on offer.
There will definitely be ingredients like Australian dragon crab, king crab, and abalone that is more than ten heads long, which are famous but actually not very expensive.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yang quickly took two steps forward, caught up with the students who were picking and choosing in the freezers, and asked, "How is it going? Have you finished choosing?"
"What? Are you feeling sorry for the money?" Shen Huan said with a smile, raising the bag of scallops in his hand.
Then, without waiting for Xiang Yang to answer, she said, "That's about it. If there's more, we won't be able to finish it and it will be wasted. Let's go to the first floor of the supermarket and get two bottles of oysters, a bottle of mustard, and a box of beer."
I have to say, these budget-conscious girls are really good at saving money.
When paying the bill, Xiang Yang only spent more than 400 yuan in total, of which dozens of yuan was for beer.
Xiang Yang held a box of beer unwillingly and said, "Why do you have to get beer from the supermarket? Are you afraid that there will be no beer in the hotel?"
"Who said we want to go to the hotel? Have you ever seen a hotel room with a kitchen?" Shen Huan asked.
"Where to go then?"
"Go to where I live." Li Xiaole said with a smile.
Li Xiaole works in the new city area of Liancheng, but lives in the old city area, in an alley behind the shopping mall. It is not a residential building, but a courtyard with an isolated building in the courtyard, and there is not even an elevator.
According to Li Xiaole, the rent here is cheap, with three bedrooms and a living room costing only nine hundred yuan a month.
In the new city area, renting a one-bedroom apartment costs nine hundred yuan a month, plus the property management, water and electricity bills are more expensive than here.
Xiang Yang climbed to the sixth floor carrying beer, and Li Xiaole hurriedly opened the door.
The living room is right after the entrance. The decoration of the room may be a bit old and the lighting is not very good, but the room is clean and tidy, and has all the necessary furniture and equipment.
There is also a potted plant on the dining table in the living room.
Xiang Yang put the beer at the door and poked his head into the house. After making sure that none of Li Xiaole's roommates or best friends were inside, he walked in. "Your accommodation is pretty good. A house like this only costs nine hundred a month?"
Li Xiaole stuck out his tongue. "If it's any more expensive, I won't be able to afford the rent."
"You guys take a seat first, I'll go to the kitchen."
"Okay, then I'll try your cooking skills today, Xiaole. I'll go to the kitchen to help you." Shen Huan said.
Xiang Yang said quickly: "How can you girls do this? I'll be the chef. I'm good at cooking seafood."
"Oh, you'd better stay here and don't move. When you said you wanted to be the chef, it reminded me of the picnic we had in our second year of high school. You put a two-pound piece of meat into the pot." Li Xiaole said.
Xiang Yang laughed dryly, "I had never cooked before, only fried rice. I thought the meat was also put into the pot and chopped with a spatula."
When these dark histories were dug up, everyone laughed.
Xiang Yang had no choice but to sit down on the sofa in disappointment, turn on the TV, and tune into the channels one by one.
noon.
The seafood is cooked.
Everyone sat down and poured a glass of beer for everyone.
"Ale, your cooking skills are good. The meat of this saury is not as tight now, but the taste is still the same." Xiang Yang tasted the saury and his eyes lit up immediately.
"I steamed it in a pot before I grilled it."
At this time, Xiang Yang's cell phone rang.
Xiang Yang took it out and looked at it, then immediately made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered, "Looking for the teacher."
"Boss Xun actually called you alone." Shen Huan immediately leaned over and said with a smile, "Turn on speakerphone, let us hear what Boss Xun called you about."
Xiang Yang moved back uncomfortably, then smiled and said, "I guess you have something to ask me. It just so happens that I can see if I can ask Boss Xun to come over and have a drink with me."
"Then we must get him drunk this time."
Xiang Yang pressed answer, then pressed speakerphone and put the phone on the table.
"Hey, Teacher Xun."
"Xiang Yang, are you in the hotel now?"
Xiang Yang raised his eyes and looked at his classmates.
Shen Huan shook his hands desperately at Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "No, I'm out for a walk. Teacher, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"It's like this. Vice President Peng asked me to call you. He wants to treat you to a simple meal in the evening on behalf of the school to express his gratitude."
"This is really not necessary. Besides, I have already ordered dinner tonight and I want to get together with my classmates then." Xiang Yang declined.
Several students looked at Xiang Yang curiously, wondering what Xiang Yang had done to make Xun Junqing call Xiang Yang to arrange a meal at this critical juncture of the school anniversary, and for the vice-president to express gratitude on behalf of the school.
"How can it be unnecessary? You donated two million to the school. With this money, many of the school's shelved plans in the past can be implemented. Xiang Yang, on behalf of Liancheng County No. 1 Middle School, I would like to thank you for your generosity." The voice on the other end of the phone changed to a muffled male voice. Although the other party did not reveal his identity, Xiang Yang knew that the owner of this voice was most likely Vice Principal Peng.
"hiss-"
There were sounds of people gasping for air all around.
Shen Li stared at Xiang Yang with wide eyes.
Li Xiaole blinked her beautiful eyes.
Shen Huan covered his mouth with both hands.
A group of people looked at Xiang Yang in shock.
Xiang Yang smiled bitterly, picked up his phone, turned off the speakerphone and said, "Teacher Xun, Vice Principal Peng, you all know what my situation was like when I was studying. I was one of those poor students who needed financial support. Back then, someone financially supported me without asking for anything in return. Now that I have the ability, I will naturally not be stingy in helping others. There is really no need to thank you. If there is any thanks, it should be from me. If it weren't for your protection, there would be no Xiang Yang today."
"How about this, we'll have dinner together at Luhai Hotel tonight. I'll wait for you at Luhai Hotel then."
Hang up the phone.
Xiang Yang found that everyone was looking at him eagerly.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Xiang Yang joked.
"No wonder Boss Xun personally accompanied you to the hotel for breakfast. You are much prettier than flowers now." Shen Huan said dimly, "Back then, our class was a key class in a key middle school. The class was really full of talented people. As for you, although your grades were good at that time, there were also people who were better than you. In addition, you were usually very low-key and were the most inconspicuous person in the class. I never dreamed that a few years later, you would be the one who did the best."
